1984s Gone

Hi,
My iphone needed a hard restore the other day, and i lost my books. I was about 2/3 of the way through Orwell's Nineteen-Eighty Four, and now i can't find it in the online catalog.

I searched for "1984" and "nineteen" and "orwell" in the various online catalogs, but find nothing relevant. I searched the forums and only found reference to looking in the online catalog "high school reading" that doesn't show up in my list of online catalogs.

Any ideas?

Love stanza, btw!

thanks,
Richard

1984s Gone

Don't feel bad Richard. I was about at the same point in the book when I had the same thing happen, and now I'm going crazy because it's gone and I can't finish it. I'd like to know why it was even available in the first place if they didn't have permission?

I did find this, however, if you feel like finishing it using your web browser:

http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/index.html

PS: It should be free in

PS: It should be free in Canada or Australia but if you are in the US or Europe then you will be breaking the law by downloading it.

It's not yet in the public

It's not yet in the public domain in the US and Europe so you will have to find a download source from a country where it is in the public domain.

"Animal Farm" too

i downloaded "1984" and "Animal Farm" a while back, now my son is looking for them on PG, and it is not to be found. so, these books weren't really legal when i DL'ed it them first time? sorry this has happened, but glad to see others in the same boat. sounds like one answer is to DL the stanza desktop app and get a copy of these books, then import them into stanza.app?

love LOVE stanza btw. would pay for it.
